Hello Ontbirders,
There has been a Boreal Chickadee in our yard and at
our feeders today. There seem to be more of these
around this fall than usual. A few must be moving with
some of the Black-capped Chickadees that have been
pouring south.
Other birds around our feeders include Pileated
Woodpeckers, Common Redpolls, and Evening Grosbeaks.
Constance Bay still has a few late waterfowl (it may
freeze over tonight) and a small number of Bald Eagles
(typical pre-freezeup concentration along the river
here).
Constance Bay is west of Ottawa on the Ottawa River.
To get here, follow March Road from Kanata to Dunrobin
Road. Follow Dunrobin Road past Dunrobin and Woodlawn
and turn N onto Constance Bay Drive. The Boreal
Chickadee is at 146 Monty Drive (2nd right off
Constance Bay Drive). Feel free to wander around the
yard if you come to look for the chickadee. Follow the
river west from the end of Constance Bay Drive and you
will easily find many access points from which to view
the river.

Hello all,
Just a quick note about the Wye Marsh's trumpeter swans.the population at
our docks has been fluctuating between 13-25 the past few days, with many
more in the area.one gentleman called in last weekend and reported a flock
of over 50 birds in the Triple Bay area in Port McNicoll, and driving around
there the next day I spotted 37 individuals. So, they're grouping up and on
the move!
Also, we've got a Christmas Bird Count happening at 9am on December 17
starting at the Wye Marsh Centre. Anyone who's willing to join in and
volunteer with this would be great.I'm looking forward to it as it's been
far too long since I've been able to dedicate time to just birdwatching.but
from what I have passively seen in the past month, there's a lot of great
activity out there.
If you're thinking of coming, just simply RSVP to my address,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call the centre at 705 526 7809 so we know how many
people to expect.bring your own binocs and books!
Cheers,
Julie Kee
